February 2017

The 2017 RBS Six Nations is underway after a tense opening weekend and looks set to be another close competition with Scotland edging an Ireland side who beat the All Blacks a few months back, England narrowly defeating France in a match which could have gone either way and Italy leading Wales at half-time before crumbling late on.

So where better to take in the international fixtures than on the screens at Goldington Road and supporting your local club.

Next Saturday 11th February it’s the big one as Wales taken on England in Cardiff, and with no fixture for the Blues, it’s the perfect excuse to get back to the home of Bedford rugby.

Bedford Blues were on the receiving end of a 49-26 hiding on Saturday afternoon as bottom side Richmond showed they had more than enough grit and determination to stay in the Championship regardless of relegation no longer being a factor.

For the neutral it was a great afternoon out with 11 tries being scored in total, but for the travelling Blues contingent, it was another frustrating afternoon which started brightly but quickly fizzled out.

Goldington Road will be opening its gates on Tuesday 28th March for the annual Mobbs Memorial Match as Bedford Blues prepare to go into battle against The British Army (Kick Off 7:45pm).

This year's match also takes on extra special meaning as it marks the one-hundred-year anniversary since Lieutenant Colonel Edgar Mobbs DSO - a true England rugby legend and a genuine hero of World War I - died during the Third Battle of Ypres while attacking a machine gun post.
